Space Notes – What Are They Talking About?

When someone talks about space notes, they are referring to the notes in between the lines on the music staff.  There should not be any line going through the note.  If there is, then these are called line notes.

The notes in the spaces have specific names in different clefs.  We will just mention treble clef and bass clef since that is what most people read.

In treble clef, the spaces are F-A-C-E.
